Do you remember the public service announcement that talked about the importance of good listening skills? It aired quite a few years ago and sought to explain the difference between hearing and listening. While hearing is a physical ability—actually one of our five senses—listening is a skill. It is possible to have one but not the other. Someone who is hearing impaired can be a great listener if he or she pays attention to the information someone conveys to them regardless of how it is being communicated. Likewise someone with very sharp hearing can be a poor listener. 你还记得在公共服务宣言中谈到的关于聆听技巧的重要性吗？这是多年前播出的内容，目的在于区别听觉和聆听能力。虽然听觉是我们的一种能力——五感之一——但是聆听能力是一种技巧。你可能会具备不错的听觉但不一定懂得聆听。即便是听觉障碍人士也可能是优秀的聆听者，如果他能足够专注于他人用各种方式向他传递的信息。同样道理，听觉发达的人也可能不是位优秀的聆听者。 |
